What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Once we receive your request, we’ll reply within 24 hours to confirm availability and schedule a time to go over the details.

This deposit goes toward your total balance. The remaining 75% is due upon arrival the day of the event (unless otherwise arranged). 💫 Cancellation & Refund Policy 30+ days before your event: Your deposit is fully refundable. 15–29 days before your event: Your deposit is non-refundable, but can be applied as a credit toward a future booking (rescheduled one time, subject to availability). Within 14 days of your event: Your deposit is non-refundable due to scheduling and preparation already in progress. Thank you for considering us for your event — we can’t wait to make it magical! 🧚🏻

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

We’re licensed bartenders and certified to serve alcohol in the state of California. ✔️ We’ve also completed the BarSmarts spirits & mixology course, which deepened our knowledge of cocktail history, classic techniques, and spirit profiles. Rhino’s background is rooted in bar culture — from tiki lounges to private parties — and he loves crafting drinks that are both elevated and fun (his go-to spirit? Rum, of course 🏝️). We’re all about creating a welcoming bar experience where guests feel relaxed and celebrated. On the tea and herbal side, Lucy is certified in both the Introductory Herbal Course and Mastering Herbal Formulations through the Herbal Academy. With a focus on energetics, intention, and seasonal support, she blends teas and mocktails that nourish the body and feel like ritual (her favorite herb? It changes with the moon 🌕). Whether it’s shaken, steeped, or spirit-free, we bring thoughtful, plant-powered energy to every experience — and we love sharing what we do with curious, kind humans.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

🐚 Our Story: Where Tiki Meets Tea Traveling Tiki Bar & Teahouse | Est. 2021 Founded by Certified Herbalist & Mixologist Alix Settle, Rhino + Lucy was born from a shared love of tea, tiki, and storytelling. What started as custom cocktails and tea blends for friends has become a full-blown adventure in crafting beverages that bring joy and spark connection. At the heart of it all are our two plush muses: Rhino & Lucy 🦏 Rhino is a globe-trotting rhino with a love for vintage glassware, bold cocktails, and all things Tiki. As a seasoned bartender, he’s known for crafting custom drinks at pop-ups, parties, and private events. A natural host, he lives to entertain and create unforgettable experiences. 🐙 Lucy is a seafaring dumbo octopus and tea alchemist with a passion for oolongs, gongfu, and botanical blends. With her growing teapot collection and love for ritual, she brings meaning and magic to every cup — including custom blends and pendulum tea readings. 🫖 Explore our world of tea and tiki. Every purchase supports our mission and helps protect the real animals we adore — 10% of profits go to conservation efforts.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of amazing people — from brides and birthday babes to wellness retreat hosts, corporate teams, and creative event planners. Whether it’s an intimate backyard gathering or a large-scale celebration, we love tailoring each experience to fit the vibe. Hopefully you’ll be next! 😊

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We recently had the pleasure of bartending an intimate birthday dinner party, featuring a menu of classic digestifs like Manhattans, Negronis, and Old Fashioneds. 🥃 We even taught a few guests how to make their own — a fun and interactive twist to end the night!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Think about the vibe and experience you want your guests to have — not just the drinks or services. Are you going for playful and tropical? Elegant and moody? Cozy and grounding? The right vendor should match that energy and bring it to life. We’re fun, conversational, and always down to try something new — whether it’s crafting custom cocktails, curating a tea ritual, or creating a moment that feels totally you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, share your vision, or dream up something magical — we love collaborating and making it happen. 🔮✨

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Start by thinking about what you and your guests actually enjoy drinking — wine, gin, whiskey, tequila, zero-proof options, or a little of everything! 📝 This helps us craft a cocktail menu that feels personal and crowd-pleasing. Also consider your event vibe: Is it more laid-back and tropical? Elegant and moody? Playful and colorful? The drinks (and presentation) can totally match your theme. From there, we’ll help you fill in the blanks — whether it’s curating the perfect signature cocktails or guiding you through what to buy. We’ve got you!
